much at different posts. Amateur the
atricalS and minstrel performances are
of frequent occurrence at some posts
during the winter months. The post
and the company libraries are sources
of comfort to soldiers, and gymnastic
exercises, field sports, and athletic
games serve to amuse them. Marksman-
ship may be said to have begun with the
advent of the foreign team that came
here fifteen years ago. Such develop
ment of sharp shooting has rarely been
known until now. Marksmen and sharp
shooters predominant in the ranks OF
the army. The practical life of soldier
and the technical studies necessary to a
thorough knowledge of his duties are
far greater and more exhaustive than is
generally understood. The citizen soldier
has little idea of these things as rule,
and the civilian, with rare exceptions,
none at all. How many can tell the
thickness of ice necessary to bear cav
airy, artillery or infantry? How many
know of what soldiers ration consists,
and the thousand and one things as per-
tinent as these in times of active SER
vice?
The uniformed militia of the United
States OutnumberS the army more than
four to one. If it were as well disci-
plined it would be an effective force, but
the elective system preScribeS anything
like true discipline among the S0-called
National Guard. What it does excel in
is material for good soldiers, with proper
training. Of course there are many
real soldiers to whom this is not meant
to apply.

THE GOVERNOR THREATENED
What the Illinois Executive May
Expect if He Refuses CIemency.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill Nov. Cit has just
TRANSFERRED tonight that Gov. Oglesby
has within the past few days received
several communications threatening
violence if he refused to exercise eXecu-
tive clemency in behalf of the con-
demned anarchists. This news only
leaked out tonight, but comes from a
source that is considered most reliable
One of the anonymous letters, dated
from Chicago, is said to boldly
threaten the governor with death i'm case
he permits the anarchists to be hanged.
Gov. Oglesby has endeavored to keep
this news from reaching the ears of his
family, as he desires to spare them all
alarm. The first of these threatening
epiStles was received some days ago
and was the cause of the governor de-
Gliding to refuse the press access to
the correspondence and petitions
in the anarchist case. 1t has been
daily remarked by the friends of
Gov. OgleSby that, ever since the execu-
tive clemency became the last resort of
the anarchists, the governor has worn a
somewhat careworn and anxious eX-
preston. While he is certainly not
coward. it is now thought the receipt of
these threatening communications and
the consciousness of his terrible reSpOn-
sibility has produced this alteration in
the governors demeanOr.

archists of Chicago. They have already
been taught as to the consequences of
radical measures, and the lesson has no
doubt had salutary effects, but new
danger is suggested by the news that
anarchists from all parts of the country
are packing their traps for a weeks
visit to this city. These agitators
will come with fresh ideas and
with disposition to express them
without restraint, and it is not difficult
to estim ate the result of such conduct
upon the reds here. The police have
the matter under consideration and will
take measures in the way of raising a
special force to meet the emergency. 1t
is safe to say that the department has
already taken steps so as to ascertain
the character of the delegations leaving
the various points before they reach
this state. You will see that all tend
encies indicate respite, Communication,
weakness in the presence of crisis.and
yet they may be wrong, for Gov. Oglesby
has as yet said nothing.

SENSELESS SENTIMENTAIISM.
A Chicago Minister Speaks
Against the Condemned Men.

A Chicago Minister Speaks
Against the Condemned Men.
CHICAGO, Nov. CDR. ID. G. Marquis,
of the Jefferson Park Presbyterian
church, this city, preached a sermon
this morning, taking for his text the
fifth verse Of the seventeenth chapter
of Acts. In the course of bis remarks
he said:
sit was one of those unreasoning
crowds which bad men sometimes stir
up and then direct it's unreasoning mad
ness to the furtherance of some fiendiSh
purpose of their own. The leaders who
have gathered the crowd and reused
its malignant passions by their infam-
matory speeches are really the respon-
Sibe parties, though they may be too
lIean and cOwardly themselves to COM
nit the overt act of crime to which they
have melted others. If murder had
been committed that night in Thessa-
lonica, and if the laws of the empire
had been such as to hold the men re-
sponsible for murder, who could have
been proved guilty of having conspired
together ia incite murderP Don't you
suppose those Jews could lave been
convicted of murder? 1t was MUIR
der they intended. They intended
the lives of Paul and SilaS should be
taken that night, If only they could be
gotten into the hands of the moi. And
it such murder had been done, and
those Jews had been proved guilty of
conspiracy to bring about that result,
though it could not be proved that any

Sea Coast Defenses.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The report of
the naval board on sea coast defenSes
will revOlve around the MiantOnOmah
as the turrets revolve on that vessel.
The monitor is selected by the board as
the unit of defense, and all ideas will
revOlve around that sort of vessel. The
MiantOnomah will constitute the unit,
and will cost S2,000,0O0. She will be
supplemented in the report with auXll-
larry vessels. There are to be several
independent rams built below the water
line. except so much as is ne eeSSary for
SmokeStackS and air. There will also
be torpedo boats of all patterns for the
purpose of getting under and destroying
hostile fleets. The central monitor, of
which the MiantonOmah is to be model
atevery port. will unloOSe her turretS and
let them revOlve. while the great guns
will lift and hurl solid shot of fabulous
weights at the attacking parties. Mean
time the little devils of marine monsters
will proceed to ram and explode the
fleet of the enemy. This is believed by
the naval board to be the best method
of modern sea coast defenSeS. Mean
time the Phil Sheridan cellars are to be
dug. These are the invention of the
lieutenant general of the army. They
are to be covered with turtle-backed
steel roofs level with the ground. Great
guns are to be raised and fired at the
enemy. The men are to be kept under
ground, both for bOmb-proOf safety and
to also keep them from running away.
This little statement is true synopsis
of the forthcoming report. Elaboration
will neither add to its merit nor detract
therefrOm.

STUNNED THE GOVERNOR.
How Mr.. OgIesby Was Affected BY
the Startling News.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. Gov.
Oglesby was thunderstruck when he re-
ceived the news tonight of the finding
of the bombs in Lingg's cell. He read
and reread the dispatch and cloud
of gloom, yeXation and anxiety
swept over his face as the
full import of the information
dawned upon him. 81 can say nothing"
said he to the Associated Press repre-
sentative. | must say nothing whatever
in regard to this matter. There is moth
ing | can properly say. and any opinion
/ might express, even if it were proper
for me to express an opinion, would only
be misunderstood"
81 am surprised at your information"
said Attorney General Hunt when the
news was communicated to him. Not
only am L surprised. but | am heartily
sorry. 1t puts different phase on the
matter so far as the opinion of portion
of the public is concerned, and at least
shows that Lingg is as bad as he has
been pictured. 1t is mystery to me how
the bombs could ever have been
spirited in there. supposed the Wig
lance of the officials in the Jail had
been such that the smallest articles
could not have been Struggled in, not to
the public is concerned the effect can
only be to prejudice the mind of the
masses against the condemned men. As
to what effect it will have on the gov
ernor, |, of course, can not say. 1t should
as matter of fact have no effect, but
man must be more than human if he is
not affected to some degree by such in
formation. At all events, it is a cir
cumStance greatly to be regretted.
View it in whatever light you may, one
would have supposed that the interest
all around would, have been so great
that such a proceeding as that
by any of the condemned
men would have been prevented.
Any such manifestation of purpose or
intention, it would appear, would have
been deplored and prevented by the
prisoners friends not on the inside but
on the outside. They are all smart
enough to know that it can only have
the effect of prejudicing the case of
every man. The public views the mat
ter in general way and can not dis
criminateo

THE OLD WILD HEN.
The Eccentric Career of the Pet OF
a Michigan Farmyard.

New York Evening Sun.
Il have just received letter from my
folks at the old homestead. 1t contains
some bad news" said commercial trav-
eler at breakfast this morning as he
showed the reporter letter, which
opened as follows:
RANSOM Mich, Aug. 8, 1887.
Dear Boy: The old wild hen is dead.
YOUR MOTHER.
"You needn't laugh" said the COM
mercial traveller, reprOachfully. 1.-The
death of that old hen was great event
in our family. She was petite blonde,
sly, selfish and self-poSSesSed. She was
the only surviving one of eleven de-
butanteS of ten years ago. She never
looked day older then when, blithe
and trustful pullet, she assumed the act
i've duties of life by adopting an orphan
doOrknob. l never shall forget the
spirit of self-denial and persistent
mother yearning with which, for six
weeks, she folded the unrespOnSiye door
knob to her bosom.
''Then she assumed hcr place in the
world with an evident determination to
drown her disappointment in the fierce
activities of a cynic. She became grasp
ing and constituencies. She drove an
out the eggs herself, and then murdered
her stepchildren. Finally she devel
Oped habit of hiding her nest in I'M
heard of places, far from the haunts of
men. She didn't announce her eggs
with the wild manifestations of joy pc
culiar to her kind. She would sneak up
to the house from her nest, and
in about four hours she would
suddenly seems to remember that
she had laid the superStructure of an
Omelette and burst into wild p8an of
rejoicing. The egg was probably Sc
GREETED about a mile from the spot where
she seemed first to remember its occur
renee. One day l had brief, but busy
engagement with nest of hornets in a
clump of bushes about mile south by
southeast from the house. | then dis
covered that the old hen had formed
treaty of defense with the hornets,
under whose villa she had deposited
at discovering this alliance that l never
went back after the eggs.
''She got the hens rights craze, and
was seized with an abnormal desire to
crow. During this period of her life she
licked dude peacock and led an other
wise riOtouS career. She saw generation
after generation of fowls rise, flourish
year or two, and go down to death
and the market, under the
nom de plumes of spring chickens,
but she defantly lived on until
she became a relic of the farm, and we
learned to love her as we'll as one can
love such a cold nature. 1t must have
CALLED her to die a natural death. She
would have preferred being killed and
sold as spring chicken, and she would
have cackled with glee at the prospect
of the panied surprise at the man who
should buy and attempt to eat her an
cient carcass"

THE GAS-PIPE BOMBS.
And What the Anarchists In
tended to Do With Them.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-The bombs were
placed III the hands of Capt. Setback
for examination, and that officer re-
ported that they appeared to have been
designed for use by some of the con-
demned men as agents of self-de-
struction. The bombs were meant
for the destruction of every
thing with which the fragments
might come in contact, the shells being
made of lead, zinc and anthony, or
some similar composition, pieces of
which would fly in every direction when
they exploded, so that blood poisoning
was certain to set in wherever wound
was made. The four bombs were made
of ordinary five-eighths-inch gas pipe,
which, instead of exploding, would
serve the purpose Of gun barrels.
On one end of each was fixed a cap and
fuse, while the other end contained
small bolts that would fly out as bullets
from a gun from the force created by
the explosion of the cap. 1t was doubt
less the intention of Lingg, as well as
of the other three, TO put one end of
the bomb in his mouth and light the
fuse, just as he would a cigar. The re-
sultant explosion would, it was be-
lieved, prove fatal.
